Augustin-Marie Picot

Auguste Marie Henri Picot de Dampierre (19 August 1756-9 May 1793) was a general of France during the French Revolutionary Wars.

Biography
Dampierre was born in Paris, but studied Prussian military tactics later in his life while traveling Europe in the 1780s. He imitated Frederick the Great in wearing his long coat, earning him the mockery of King Louis XVI of France while appearing in court. Sympathetic to new revolutionary ideas, he joined the French Revolutionary Army in 1792. After fighting at Valmy, Jemappes, and Neerwinden, he was killed at the Battle of Raismes on 8 May 1793 after being hit in the thigh with a cannonball.
